Fig. 2 Ð Rigging with Spreader Bars (Field Supplied)

Placing Unit Ð There must be 4 ft (1220 mm) for service on all sides of unit, and a minimum of 8 ft (2440 mm) clear air space above unit. For multiple units, allow 8 ft (2440 mm) separation between units for air¯ow and service.

Mounting Unit Ð When unit is in proper location, use of mounting holes in base rails is recommended for securing unit to supporting structure or for mounting unit on vibration isolators, if required. Fasteners for mounting unit are ®eld supplied. Be sure to mount unit level to ensure proper oil return to compressors.

Compressor Mounting Ð As shipped, compressor is held down by 4 bolts. After unit is installed loosen each bolt using nut indicated in Fig. 3 until ¯atwasher (3¤8 in. [9.5 mm]) can be moved with ®nger pressure.

INSTALLATION

Refrigerant Piping Connections Ð Line sizes depend on length of piping required between condensing unit and evaporator. See Table 2A or 2B. It is important to consider liquid lift and compressor oil return. Refer to Part 3 of Carrier System Design Manual for line sizing information, and Fig. 4 for recommended piping details.

Liquid Line Solenoid Drop Control Ð The factorysupplied solenoid valve must be installed at the indoor unit (fan coil) per Fig. 5, and wired per wiring label found on unit. The solenoid assures that system refrigerant is in the high-pressure side (condenser and liquid line) of the system during the off cycle. Refrigerant migration is minimized.

Factory-supplied liquid line solenoid valve connecting sizes are 7¤8-in. (22.2 mm) ODF for inlet and 7¤8-in. (22.2 mm) ODM for outlet.

Failure to properly install liquid line solenoid at the indoor unit as described, without Carrier authorization, may VOID warranty.

Filter Drier and Moisture Indicator Ð Every unit should have a ®lter drier and a sight glass (moisture indicator) ®eld installed. Select the ®lter drier for maximum unit capacity and minimum pressure drop. Figure 5 shows recommended locations of ®lter drier(s) and sight glass. Complete the refrigerant piping from the evaporator to the condenser before opening the liquid and suction lines at the condensing unit. One ®lter drier may be installed at location A in Fig. 5, or 2 ®lter driers may be installed at locations B.

TXV Ð Thermostatic Expansion Valve

Fig. 5 Ð Liquid Line Solenoid Valve, Filter Drier(s) and Sight Glass Locations

Receiver Ð No receiver is provided with the unit; it is recommended that one not be used.

Piping Procedure Ð Do not remove run-around pipe from suction and liquid line stubs until piping connections are ready to be made. Pass nitrogen or other inert gas through piping while brazing, to prevent formation of copper oxide.

Install ®eld-supplied thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) in liquid line ahead of each evaporator section. For 2-stage cooling, the ®eld-supplied capacity control solenoid used must be wired to be opened by control from a 2-stage thermostat.

SUCTION PIPING AT EVAPORATOR AND TXV BULB LOCATION (See Fig. 5) Ð The purpose of these recommendations is to achieve good mixing of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator suction header for proper sensing by the TXV bulb.

1.A minimum of two 90° elbows must be installed upstream of the expansion valve bulb location.

2.The TXV sensing bulb should be located on a vertical riser where possible. If a horizontal location is necessary, secure the bulb at approximately the 4 o'clock position.

3.Size the suction line from the evaporator through the riser for high velocity. Enter the suction pipe sizing charts in the Carrier System Design Manual at design tons and equivalent length (for 2° F [1.1° C] loss). If reading falls between 2 sizes on chart, choose the smaller pipe size.

Suction piping for the high velocity section should be selected for about 0.5° F (0.3° C) friction loss. If a 2° F (1.1° C) loss is allowed for the entire suction line, 1.5° F (0.8° C) is left for the balance of the suction line, and it should be sized on that basis. Check that the high-velocity sizing is adequate for oil return up the riser.

If an oil return connection at the bottom of this suction header is supplied with an evaporator, this connection must be teed-in ahead of ®rst mixing elbow. When the compressor is below the evaporator, the riser at the evaporator does not have to extend as high as the top level. After a 15-diameter riser has been provided, the suction line may elbow down immediately.

SAFETY RELIEF Ð A fusible plug is located on unit liquid line before the liquid valve.

Power Supply Ð Electrical characteristics of available power supply must agree with unit nameplate rating. Supply voltage must be within limits shown in Table 3.

IMPORTANT: Operating unit on improper supply voltage, or with excessive phase imbalance, constitutes abuse and may affect Carrier warranty. See Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage, page 7.

Power Wiring Ð All power wiring must comply with applicable local and national codes. Install ®eld-supplied branch circuit fused disconnect(s) per NEC (National Electrical Code, U.S.A.) of a type that can be locked OFF or OPEN. Disconnect(s) must be within sight from and readily accessible from unit in compliance with NEC Article 440-14.

GENERAL WIRING NOTES

1.A crankcase heater is wired in the control circuit so it is always operable as long as power supply disconnect is on, even if any safety device is open or unit stop-start switch is off. It is protected by a 5-amp circuit breaker in control power.

2.The power circuit ®eld supply disconnect should never be open except when unit is being serviced or is to be down for a prolonged period. When operation is resumed, crankcase heater should be energized for 24 hours before startup. If unit is to be shut down for a prolonged period, it is recommended that the suction and discharge valves be

closed to prevent an excessive accumulation of refrigerant in the compressor oil.

3.Power entry is one end only.

4.Maximum ®eld wire sizes allowed by lugs on terminal block are:

FIELD CONNECTIONS

1.Main Power Ð Bring wires from the fused disconnect switch through hole in bottom rail of unit to control box

(Fig. 6 and 7) and connect terminals 11 , 12 , and

13 line side of terminal block TB1 (see Fig. 8 and 9A

or 9B). To comply with NEC Article 440-14, the disconnect must be located within sight from and readily accessible from unit.

2.24-v Control Power Ð Units have single point power connections. Control circuit is directly connected internally to unit. Maximum 24-v control circuit is 3 amps.

NOTE: Wire runs use the following insulated wire:

AWG Ð American Wire Gage *35 C minimum.

3.Control Circuit Interlock Ð An air¯ow switch may be installed in the indoor air handler to prevent unit from running when indoor air is not ¯owing. This switch (no. HR81JE001) is available from Service Parts Center, or equivalent can be ®eld supplied. This should be electrically interlocked in the control circuit, between thermo-

stat TC1 (stage 1, cooling) and terminal 2 Y1 on TB3.

See Fig. 8 for typical ®eld wiring. This is in the 24-v circuit. Wires must be run in conduit with ground wire.

4.Transformer Connections Ð See unit wiring label diagram, notes 1 and 2, located behind compressor compartment end access door.

IMPORTANT: Ensure power to the crankcase heater is always on (except when servicing the unit). If circuit breaker inside unit shuts down the compressor, crankcase heater remains on.

UNBALANCED 3-PHASE SUPPLY VOLTAGE Ð Never operate a motor where a phase imbalance in supply voltage is greater than 2%. Use the following formula to determine the percent voltage imbalance:

% Voltage Imbalance

= 100 x

max voltage deviation from average voltage

 

average voltage

 

Example: Supply voltage is 240-3-60.

AB = 243 v

BC = 236 v

AC = 238 v

243 + 236 + 238

Average Voltage =

3

= 239 volts

Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:

(AB) 243 − 23 9 = 4 v (BC) 239 − 23 6 = 3 v (AC) 239 − 23 8 = 1 v

Maximum deviation is 4 v. Determine percent voltage imbalance:

4

% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x

239

= 1.7%

This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the maximum allowable 2%.

IMPORTANT: Contact your local electric utility company immediately if the supply voltage phase imbalance is more than 2%.
